Fresh Take on Conor McGregor's Latest UFC Comeback Tease
UFC fighter Conor McGregor hints at comeback, directly addressing Dana White
The Notorious MMA superstar, Conor McGregor, has once again sparked rumors of a (possible) comeback to the UFC ring. McGregor, who's been out of action for nearly four years, seems eager to get back in the Octagon, according to his recent messages to the UFC and its CEO, Dana White.
In a surprising turn of events, McGregor, now 36, posted a call-out to Dana White through his Instagram, tagging both UFC and its parent company, TKO Group Holdings. The Dublin native seems to be aiming to re-join the organization's testing pool, hoping to jump back into the action.
This latest message follows another teaser from McGregor at UFC 315 this past weekend, expressing his excitement about the potential of real action-packed times ahead in the UFC.
"Call that big butt nurse," McGregor wrote, with reference to Dana White, hinting at his intentions to return to the UFC fray. Some fans saw this as the initial sign of a potential comeback, while others remained skeptical.
